The Tulane football team again hit the Westfeldt Practice Facility turf this morning for a much more deliberate, installation type of workout. The rain drizzled as the team worked in mainly position groups most of the morning.

An exception was the offense, which spent the final 20 minutes of practice in a red zone running back, wide receiver, quarterback combined group. On every play, each receiver in the formation caught a pass though the quarterback under center sent the ball to the primary target on the play.

Offensive coordinator Eric Price said that the players are still processing the immense change in scheme and demand for precision as the program moves to a pro style multiple scheme.

"It's the Saints offense," Price said.

The offense worked together on correcting receiver routes and Derrick Strozier caught a pass from a horizontal position at the end of practice to draw Coach Curtis Johnson's praise.

The defense worked on technique perfection and installation as well. Lineman Michael Pierce Jr. had a great practice, according to Johnson and got to break practice as a reward.
